The
Tavern and the Inside Story....

These people are creations
of Philip Beglan in England. Unfortunately for the miniature world, Philip has
moved on to other things and is no longer creating dolls. The gentleman in the
front has heard quite enough form his lady-friend; the gentleman in the back
is busy explaining the ills of the world to all who will listen. The proprietor
is listening to his patrons and rapidly filling empty glasses!

A few details of the tavern go unnoticed in these
pictures, but certainly lend ambience to the general atmosphere!

All
of the games- including the chess board, checker board, marble game, dart board, cards, and accessories are complete...no phonies here!!!

All
of the bottles of liquor have clear and accurate labels. And many have the
actual product sealed inside! Wine, champagne, and several of the brews are
real!

The
ceiling is pounded tin, the walls are brick and the floors and an aged
wood.

Much of the furniture was created by
Linwood Group. Sadly, Jim, one of the primary builders, is no longer with us to
continue the tradition of Linwood builders. The bar and back bar accessories
are the creative invention of Mark and
Sharon Stockton!
